I just bought and set up my router and satellite. Switched everything over. Solved the iOS App Store issue. And now I can’t use my Sonos drive?!! How was I to know that I’d have to research whether a visible hardware port was operational pre-purchase???
not sure if I’ll just return it all or what to do.
- I just bought and finish the RBR50 setup. Realize that USB port ReadySHARE for USB drive is not supported. Considering to return the RBR50. Connect the printer to the RBR50's USB port after installing USB Control Center (poor documentation), but cannot able to print from my Android devices. It is better not to include USB ports in RBR50 and RBS50 in the first place if Netgear cannot support it for usb drive.
Truly sad.
- Why would you NOT support hard drive connectivity on the Orbi? Are you just trying to bleed more money from us to force us to upgrade to a more expensive device? It's 2019. Support hard drive connectivity to the Orbi RBR or RBS50!!
Agreed
- This is bad that expensive router that Orbi does not support external hard drive, in the world of cloud storage. I made a mistake to buy this router assuming it is advanced but it not even close to features of average router. External harddrive support is one of them. Please consider supporting hard drive.
